Food for thought
I received an ARC of this title from the publisher. This was fascinating. In some sections, it did get a bit bogged down in the technical minutiae of DNA testing and genetics but thankfully those areas were short and then returned to the main human interest part of the story about a family trying to trace their father’s roots. Lots to think about here, I’d say I’m unsure now about having my DNA tested by one of the genealogy sites, but the bottom line of this book is that it really doesn’t matter whether I do or not — no one is anonymous anymore.
